**Author's Note:**

> This is my first Solo fic on here, though I have collaborated on a shared account on this website before <3
> 
> This is my first and will likely be my only Game of Thrones Fic. It's based solely on the TV show- sorry book fans 
> 
> But also the timeline and scenario doesn't quite fit with the show, so for the record, I'm just going to say that this is somewhere in the run up before the long night. Sandor and Brienne are travelling with Arya alone. 
> 
> Hopefully you will go easy on me but also I really hope you guys enjoy this- that would actually be incredible!

She is supposed to be removed. She is supposed to be armour: cold, cutting, polished and protected. But she has been wounded. A poison has spread itself inside. A thing that bleeds unlike what she's ever known. There is no cure. There is no scar, nor no healing... because the wound... 

She wipes her eyes.

Because the wound is not on her body. She was never supposed to want... touch. His touch...

'Does he know you threw me off a cliff?' 

She doesn't turn her face to look at him. The man with a blistered face, whom she threw halfway down a mountain. The Hound’s features are hardened and now even a little wizened from years of cynicism, years of bared teeth and scowling. He pushes another drink into her hands without her request.

'It wouldn't matter,' Brienne mutters. 

'No, I think not,' Sandor agrees. 'You’re just a flower.'

She lifts a brow. Most think her too rude, too large and too ugly. A flower... she clenches her teeth. He only shows amusement at her irritation. 

'Oh, you don't look it.' His expression is something of a smirk with yellowed teeth. 'Gods know you don't; you look like a great, thick, beast...' she smells alcohol on his breath. 'But you know... and I know, you're a delicate bird, Brienne.'

She's had enough. She grips her drink, moving away, but he stands too. He looks at her, and she feels caught by his grim gaze. His hand is in a fist, but he doesn't move to strike. His look is not unkind, but there is no life in it.

'Listen and listen good if you know what's right for you,' he growls out. 'I know Lannisters. Lannisters look a treat, but that cock you spend your lonely nights thinking about...' He shakes his head. 'I wouldn't take you for a fool and a cunt if you didn't act like one.'

She slams her drink upon the table. She can't... no. Not again. No more fighting with him. She walks away, away from the company and the lamplight surrounding them, but he only follows. It's not what she expects... she didn't think he would ever bother to follow anyone. 

'You don't think I remember your words,' the hound guesses. 'That you told me halfway through our locked swords that you didn't even want to kill me. Coward, I thought... before I discovered better.' 

'Because I didn't,' Brienne snaps, rounding on him in the darkness, her cool eyes are as sharp as her blade. 'Would you rather I had beheaded you?! Even with Arya between us, it is not wise to test me, Sandor.' 

He only snorts.

'Brienne of fucking Tarth.' He gulps down the rest of his drink. 'Mercy doesn’t make you clever, and you can’t get something more stupid than love, I promise you that.'

She frowns at him. She can't believe it.

'I'm not... in love,' she retorts.

It tastes like poison. A lie... and his responding look makes it all the worse. She blinks back tears.

'Fine,' Sandor finally agrees. 'He's just a man. Any man, though any man doesn't fuck his own sister...' He snorts. 

A roll of his eyes as Brienne stares into space. She wishes to be stone. To be numb and untouchable. 

'Brienne the beauty, crying her eyes out, over a kingslayer.' Sandor teases, but there’s no malice in his words. His voice is uncharacteristically soft. 'And you couldn't find anyone better?' The Hound almost sounds sorry for her. 

Her look is bitter. Her hand is cast over his face in a resounding slap before she can control herself. He barely flinches. Such a sting, even from her palm, isn't enough to make him flinch.

'I don't NEED anyone,' she speaks through clenched teeth.

There's a long pause. Filled with the wind, the distant sound of cheering and laughter. Themselves, separate, in the freezing night, where the glows of lamps and candles don't reach. Her anger slips away, but the thought that even he pities her… 

She shivers. He only observes her, quietly.

'No,' he whispers. 'That's... that's what I was trying to-'

A little shape wanders nearer to the two giants. The silver flash of a thin rapier.

'Arya,' Brienne’s tone is motherly. 'It's late.'

She should be asleep. She needs to stay warm!

'She's not a girl anymore,’ the hound tells her gruffly. 'Let her do what she bloody well wants.'

Arya sighs through a tight jaw.

'I'll thank you both not to speak for me.' She heads towards the door of the pub, granting an aghast look from Brienne and a chuckle from Sandor.

'Not too much!' Brienne demands of her, harshly.

'I'll do what I bloody well want.' Arya repeats. 

Her expression balances between a scowl and a smile, both composed of desire and mischief, before she disappears through the door. It snaps like a wooden set of teeth behind her, forced to clash with a gust of wind.

Sandor huffs. Something that Brienne dares to think is fondness, lives in the creases of his eyes. It's what makes him tolerable, she thinks: his hidden hope for Arya, his hidden compassion for her. How can he believe that love is the most foolish thing? Brienne scans him up and down. She can't believe it, and surely he can't either, underneath it all. He only grunts at her, before coming to sit on a bench, hugging his clothes around him, against the cold.

Brienne can't stand to wait.

'I should check on her-'

'Leave her alone,’ the Hound insists. 'She's a quick woman now, and can take care of herself. A little like you.' 

Brienne doesn't like it: knowing all the drunken and dirty men who are in the tavern, but she gives in, coming to sit next to him. He doesn't abject. Another silence. It seems to last hours. That endless moan of wind. She shifts, the two closer for warmth, yet their faces are turned away.

'It doesn't matter what you think, or what I feel.' Brienne eventually admits. 'Jaime Lannister is...'

'A cock?' Sandor guesses.

Brienne sighs. A cock indeed, since he's not going to return to her, she thinks. Even though she had known it already, it only seems to sink in now, like long claws into her skin. Her tears build again in her eyes and she turns away her face, her features tightened into a mask of silent pain. 

'Don't...' She warns, or begs, she isn't sure which, knowing Sandor is watching her.

She expects another dirty joke, or more teasing.

She doesn't expect his hand on her arm and his silence. Under any other circumstance, she would ask him to remove that hand, but she is far too exhausted and somehow, it is a comfort. She just wants this long night to be done with. It's the drink that's loosened her tongue and made her weak. Just drink and a little hunger and a little cold, that's all this pain is. It has to be... she's never been this open or this stupid. 

She wipes her cheek to get rid of a loose tear, her back bent, surrendered, however temporarily, to her own weariness and the cries of the wind.


	2. Chapter 2

They used to spend nights close, bathed in intimate candlelight. Whispered words not heard by any, except themselves. Soon even those secret words would be lost in the threads of their tapestries and blankets and silken sheets. The memories left in their folds, to whisper back to them the next morning. Curtains closed, doors barred. The stars alight on a summer evening as he would caress her skin, fingers cast in golden hair. Then his smile had faded into a frown: noting her little scars, hidden under corsets and sleeves... his other half...

‘I care about you, Cersei...’ 

He almost still hears her words, from when she was sixteen years old:

‘Quiet. Keep me close. You won’t be able to, not like this, not when I’m married.’

Now, there is no such tenderness. No private pleasure. No warmth in their bed. Jaime begins to think it will never be that way, ever again. 

He never has been able to consider it a sin. It's their nature. It's their knowledge. It's their balance since they found themselves in the womb of the same woman. Made for each other. Two of the same thing. Who can know their struggles better than the both of them? At night, when the Red Keep was lost to slumber, they could know each other's pain and share each other’s pleasure... but Jaime cannot remember when they last did so.

She never loved him... not like he loved her. She loved her children... and he, in turn, was forced to find an open heart in another place. Only to return to her cold, disgusted stare and her sharp nails drumming at the arm of the iron throne. He has returned to a disused hearth, and something worse than the chill: the possibility of something more dangerous. 

He comes to her now, alone. The map of Westeros at her feet, that familiar wine glass in her hand. He was sure to banish any others with her. They need to talk. He comes to her softly, his hand finds her lower back.

'Cersei...'

It's as if she's blind and numb to him. He frowns, his heart beginning to sink.

'Let me take that.' 

He reaches for her wine, but she drains it, before he can remove it. 

'You should be more careful with your drink...' he soothes, only for her palm to land with force on his chest. 

He’s pushed back a step. She marches from his side.

That's when he sees the only one who has remained with them: the Mountain lingers, like a tower made of golden armour. 

'Cersei...?' Concern bleeds into Jaime’s voice. 'Won't you send him away?'

Jaime doesn't like it: how the Mountain isn't quite human... somehow less than human… Cersei’s steel eyes settle on Jaime once more.

'I can send him away.' 

Her voice is poison laced with honey. A pause, but of course, she does not send him from the room. Jaime shakes his head, unable to keep his thoughts silent any longer. 

'I don't know... what I've done for this wall to be built between us,’ he murmurs, only for her to laugh. 

It is a sound filled with malice and bitterness.

'Every day... since you lost that  _ blasted _ hand,' she hisses, rounding on him, her eyes narrowed, 'you look like a lost dog, begging and then fearing its master.' Her jaw aches from the tension of clenching her teeth. 'I would ask you why you've become so weak, but there is no need. We both know exactly why.' 

His brows knit. Without his will, Brienne’s blue eyes flash in his mind’s eye. He shakes his head. She... he can't. Brienne is too good, too kind for him.

'You're being unfair,’ he snarls out. 'I feel like we haven't spoken properly in months!!' 

He moves closer to her, only for her to look to the Mountain. He falters, as if he's been struck. 

'Your children...' 

She bristles. 

‘ _ Our  _ children,’ she growls.

Joffrey, Myrcella, even Tommen! So much has happened since she's sent him away!

'If you didn't want me to change, you shouldn't have sent me away!' He can't help but have hurt in his voice. 'You should have kept me here! With you!'

The smile she offers is weak and unkind. 

'You haven't changed, Jaime,’ she soothes. 'You've just shown yourself for what you really are. Do I have to spell that out for you?’ He doesn’t reply and her voice turns brittle with her next words: 'Fine. No more hiding. I want you to answer me and answer honestly. Would you rather have a cow from the Sapphire Isle than to fuck your Queen?' 

Her accusatory words sets his pulse throbbing. Why would she-? How did she-? For a time he’s silent, trying to process what it is Cersei must believe. How could she think that? And how exactly did she  _ know _ about Brienne, in the first place?! 

'Don’t be ridiculous. She… she isn’t a cow...' he realises what he's said before he's said it.

Cersei’s glare only grows more venomous.

'Oh? So  _ I’m _ being ridiculous?’ 

She sighs, about to move away. Jaime’s only functioning hand wraps around Cersei’s wrist, a flare of panic and anger in his eyes.

'I did not...  _ fuck _ her,’ Jaime murmurs, trying to meet his sister's eyes. 

She tears her wrist away. 

'But you  _ do  _ care for her,’ Cersei goes on, her tone more soft, but her is back turned to him.

She might as well have slammed a door in his face. 

'No,’ Jaime insists. 

It’s a lie, of course. One that he hears in his own voice. He tries to rectify it:

‘Fine. I do. But-‘

Cersei grimaces. A sudden shattering breaks the quiet. Her wine glass is in a million shards on the floor after it’s been tossed over her shoulder.

‘Jaime, why?’ she laughs, but it’s cold. ‘Why are you lying to me?!' she bites back at him, kicking at the shards with her heels. 

Blast it! The air itself feels like broken glass. She tries to calm herself, her chest heaving as she continues:

‘Perhaps I shall summon her to this keep, hm? Perhaps she can be a companion of yours? Or her  _ head _ at least. Perhaps I shall have my Mountain bring... little  _ pieces _ of her here for you. Would that make you happy? You could wear her big blue eyes around your traitorous neck...' 

Jaime stands still, trying to look numb, but there’s a fine shake of rage in his limbs that betrays how tensed he is. 

'Threatening to dismember...' he shakes his head, moving closer. 'Cersei, this is infantile. Joffrey has made a mark on you.’ At this, she scoffs, but Jaime carries on: ‘There will  _ never  _ be a match like ours. How can you doubt that? How can you doubt me? I’d do _ anything  _ for you. Anything…’

He finally looks away, but Cersei’s fingers lock at his jaw. A tight grip.

'Look me in the eyes... and tell me again.' She orders. 

He makes himself look at her. His throat feels tight. 

'You  _ are _ ... the  _ only _ one...' the slightest tremble in his voice… it gives him away. He wants to curse.

She snarls. Her long nails claw at his skin and he winces.

'You wretched-!' she throws her fist into his stomach.

It doesn't hurt, of course. Not physically at least. 

'Stop this.' Jaime tries to catch her hands. 'It's beneath you.'

' _ You _ are beneath me,’ She breaks away from him, moving towards the Mountain, in the corner...

'If I'm to die for treason, I suggest you swing the axe now, yourself,’ Jaime pleads, quietly. 'I’d rather it be by your hand. Otherwise I really don't see the point of this...  _ chip _ on your shoulder. It's not like I'm going to see her again...'

Her expression is stone, but the pooling of tears in her eyes tells a different story, and as she turns her back to him again, the stone mask cracks. A desperate and savage smile.

'It's like you don't know me at all,’ she whispers, mournfully. 'Never in an eternity could I  _ kill _ you, Jaime...' she lifts a hand to her hair, pulling at the now-clipped strands. 'And never can I forgive... or forget.'

He takes a bold, and perhaps naive, step forward. 

'Not even for me...?' He tries not to sound so weak.

A snort from her. A sly curve of her thin lips that makes his stomach feel like it’s dropped to the floor.

'I would ask you to bring me her head, but I know you can't do it.' She spits out the last consonants, shifting on her feet. 

Jaime’s gut churns. He stares at nothing. He can't reveal a thing...

'Maybe I  _ will  _ send Gregor to lay this to rest.' She hugs her own arms now, trying to stay warm, even as her face still holds that proud tilt. 'After all... there are rumours that Gregor’s brother is with her, along with that savage little thorn in our sides, Arya Stark. Finally showing her face again...'

Jaime's lips part, unable to hide his surprise and fear at this news. Brienne found her… 

The Stark girl...

'Don't send Gregor,' he almost begs, 'I will go.' 

Cersei shakes her head. A mere look in the Mountain’s direction, and he's already making his leave.

'You're not going  _ anywhere _ .’ Cersei is a lioness, baring her teeth.

'Cersei. I have a duty to you...'

‘Yes. It’s about time you remembered that,' she spits. 

He silences himself, though he looks to the window. He wishes suddenly and painfully that he could fly from it, just like the ravens… like the Stark boy who started all of this, at the window.

‘Intervene, and I  _ will _ have you in a dungeon, mark my words,' Cersei snarls, before she parts from him.

The conversation is done. Finished without further bickering. Cersei always loved to have the last word between them.

Jaime watches forlornly later, from the window of his chamber, as the Mountain marches on. He can't tear his eyes away from that sight. He is many things for Cersei... but a prisoner isn't one of them.

He has one immediate hope: to send a message to them. It doesn't take him long to secure a bribe. A good rumour as to where the group might be and where they’ll be heading. No doubt further North... Cersei might have all at her command, but Jaime still has a few friends left… he acquires a raven in the night, and hides himself and his message in the shadows of his chamber.

His letters are drawn strangely- forced to use his left hand when he's lost his right and he works mostly by the light of a dim and flickering flame, but he’s determined and quick. He won’t let this slip by.

‘Brienne.

It is vital you find safety. Don't encourage Sandor to fight and send Arya away before she is hurt. The Mountain is coming for you.’

He pauses... only for a moment, before-

‘Please, stay safe, I’

He crosses out the ‘I’. A letter isn’t enough for what he wishes he could say to her.

‘I'm sorry,' he puts that, instead before signing:

'Jaime’

Why conceal his name? It would be easy to assess who had written it, no use trying for secrecy. 

He fumbles with it, finally managing to send it to the air.

Alone, Sandor might just win... or perhaps that's only foolishness. Brienne wouldn't manage. Gregor is too ruthless and what honour, if any, that he had, is long gone. Which means what they need... is an honourless knight.

It can't be helped.

They... they  _ need  _ Jaime Lannister.

He can beg Cersei’s forgiveness when he knows they're safe. But he can’t be contained. He was never a man of loyalty. He was always a man of righteousness. Even if that means being the villain. Kingslayer… now add ‘Queen’s traitor’ to the list. He covers himself in a dark cloak, before sneaking out as the evening meal is prepared. Any hesitation and Cersei will suspect him or check on him. He mounts a black horse and rides as fast as he is able, away from the gates and the lonely bitterness that now fills their rooms and their halls. 

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Gahhh! I hope this works haha! I’ve never really written these two before so I hope I got it right! Thank you so much for the lovely comments on the last chapter! Hopefully more to come next week, where I will return to writing the Hound, Brienne and Arya! *suspenseful music*


	3. Chapter 3

**Notes for the Chapter:**

> Sorry about this chapter being a little shorter, it’s been a busy week, but I hope you guys enjoy!

It's the cold crack of a late dawn by the time Arya surfaces from the tavern, shoving open the old door with a creak. She's not unsteady on her feet, despite how much she's drunk. Brienne would be horrified, something that only makes her smile, before she sees Brienne and the Hound together, sleeping on the bench. Two giants placed side by side, their heads tilted towards one another as they snore with open mouths and hanging jaws. She snorts.

She wishes they could know what they look like: two strangely shaped boulders rolled together but with their jaws gaping. Gormless and silly. She sighs, sitting on the dirt in front of them and tucking into her breakfast. She got them all bread and meat rolls. She has placed them on Brienne’s and Sandor’s laps for when they wake. Chicken for Sandor, obviously. 

Her eyes are on the feeble rays of the sun through the twisted and leafless branches as she wolfs down what she can. Small, hungry dire wolf...

She watches until the negative spaces of the sky blur from violet and blue into white and gold. 

Another pause… before one of the boys working from the pub stumbles out of the door, carrying a letter. 

‘I think it’s for the big woman,’ he begins, nodding towards Brienne. ‘A raven bought it here, first thing-’

‘-Give it here,’ Arya demands, though she doesn’t wait for the boy to hand it over, electing to swipe it from him. ‘Mention it to anyone and I’ll cut your tongue.’

The savage look in her eyes is more than enough to scare the boy away and back into the tavern without another word.

Arya doesn't hesitate, or think twice. Whatever is for Brienne will be for her, too. Arya’s small and nimble fingertips scramble to part the seal and open up the message. 

She scans the writing. Such messy letters. She sees the name beneath.

_ Jaime…?! _

Her eyes widen, before she reads more carefully, a subtle alarm crossing her face, before her brows furrowing in a scowl. The Mountain is coming…

Why would Jaime warn Brienne of it? Unless…

Arya looks at Brienne's sleeping features. She notes the urgency of the words in the letter. So… Jaime  _ does  _ like her. Not that Arya wants to think about it. She hurries to pocket the letter. Sandor can’t know, the Kingslayer was right about that much. Sandor is desperate to kill himself on his brother’s sword. Arya clenches her teeth. She won’t let it happen. Brienne can’t know either. Arya is aware that Brienne isn’t good at keeping secrets… and she’d almost certainly send Arya away or leave Sandor to die. 

Brienne and Sandor are meant to care for her, Arya supposes. What they don’t know… is that Arya is actually taking care of  _ them. _

Brienne stirs with a soft moan. Arya turns to look at her and at the way her bright eyes drift open, only for her to stiffen and flinch away from Sandor, realising how close they must have been while they slept. 

‘Had a good night?’ Arya wonders casually, with no small degree of mischief.

She must put away her concerns about the Mountain, or they’ll suspect something. Arya has found much experience when it comes to lying... and after all, if they keep running, they’ll manage… at least for the time being, - though it is concerning that the letter has reached them so quickly.

Brienne blinks as she tries to comprehend Arya’s words, her mind still clouded from sleep. 

‘Arya?’ 

What is the hour? How long did she sleep? Is Arya alright? She  _ looks _ fine from what Brienne can see. She notices the pork roll on her lap.

‘Breakfast,’ Arya clarifies. ‘Eat up. You’ll need it.’

Brienne’s lips part, somewhat surprised that Arya has got her breakfast for her.

‘Thank you,’ Brienne answers, after a short, bewildered silence. ‘Just what… did you  _ mean _ , asking me about… last night?’ Her expression sharpens but Arya remains unaffected by it.

She shrugs, tucking into her own roll. Her mouth is full as she answers:

‘You talked to him for a long time, without me.’

The Hound is better than  _ Jaime  _ at any rate...

Brienne scowls like a disapproving mother. 

‘It was only a discussion.’

‘A discussion about keeping each other warm at night,’ Arya assumes, much to Brienne’s horror. 

‘Arya!’

Scolded like a child. Arya stops eating. Suddenly, she doesn’t feel hungry. She heard her mother… in Brienne’s voice. She feels cold.

She can remember her snowy face and her dark wisps of hair lighting like embers in the sunlight and her stern, steely eyes concealing the precious glisten of affection within them.

And even after so long, she  _ feels _ … so… tired and  _ empty _ . 

She’s not going to let Brienne or Sandor die… no one else is going to die...

She tucks away the rest of her meal in her pocket, too, and turns her face away, to hide anything in her expression that might betray how broken she feels, even in that split-second. 

‘That is not for you to speculate on,’ Brienne finishes, not seeing that minuscule change in Arya’s expression.

The Hound garbles something incoherent, before words begin to form and he comes awake.

‘What’s not for her to speculate on?’

‘It’s not for  _ you _ to speculate about, either,” Brienne snaps. 

At this, Sandor only looks confused, before he decides he doesn’t care enough to enquire further. He takes his own breakfast in hand, beginning to scoff it down.

Brienne stares at him.  _ Must _ he eat like an animal? But she says nothing. She’s had enough of people staring at  _ her _ for  _ her _ lack of the manners expected from a lady. She eats more of her breakfast, her eyes tracing the slender lines of the trees.

‘We should keep moving,’ Arya says, after a time. ‘With the Dreadfort and the King’s Road between us and Castle Black…’ she doesn’t need to elaborate.

The Kingsmen and the Boltons are ever closer along their way…

The Mountain is only one more threat to add to the list. But Arya is determined: they will be faster than him.

Brienne nods her agreement to Arya’s suggestion. She’s almost grateful to have something to distract herself from that wound inside her. If she focuses on protecting Arya...

Sandor mumbles his own agreement.

‘Never could stay for long, could we?’

At this point, it’s a miracle the three of them are still alive. How long can that miracle last, now that Winter has come and the Mountain is on their tail?

‘Never could stay, at all,’ Arya adds. ‘We need to go faster. When the snow comes, it will be too cold to rest for long, outside.’

‘Would help if we weren’t going to the coldest bloody place in the whole of bloody Westeros,’ Sandor mutters.

‘We’ll eat while we walk,’ Brienne decides, deliberately ignoring him. ‘At least until we find the next clearing…’ She scans the horizon, as if fearing what could appear over it and through the trees. 

Sandor glimpses her expression of concern.

‘We got more than men to worry about, too…’ Sandor whispers. ‘I’m not a superstitious fool. I know what I’m talking about. There are rumours.’

‘Just rumours…’ Brienne reminds him. She doesn’t want to scare Arya…

But Sandor shakes his head. 

‘Rumours come from screams…’ he comes to stand. There are shadows in his face.‘All the screams are coming from Castle Black.’

The very place they’re headed.
